The 90 Day Challenge: Milk Log
-
yeah, ask someone to help for that first rep - but make sure you tell them just for that first one. <br />
<br />
Nothing worse than getting a spot from someone, and they start assisting you halfway through your reps. Me been training pretty much on my own for the last couple of years, and have the reps I can do sorte4d sweet. Sometimes looks like I won't get it up, but I know I will - weights almost stopping, looks like needs help, but am fine. Thats when the help pisses me off.<br />
<br />
And no jokes about 'getting it up' please... -
Going pretty well. Taking daily protein shakes, and feel like that is helping. My main problem at the moment is the weekends - the routine goes to the pack. Shit keeps coming up, and I actually just want a few quiet ones to stay on track. Anyway, birthday this weekend - so don't think I will be getting much done again.

<br />
Yeah, a problem that everyone seems to have experienced to a degree. I don't think there's anything that can be done about it save for ridiculous martyrdom; there's always someone's farewell, birthday, new job etc to celebrate / commiserate. <br />
<br />
I just decided to let the good times roll. If you have to attend a "do" you might as well cast aside the guilt and go hammer, even if it is twice a weekend :happy: -
Unfortuantely I have stayed away from the gym for about a week due to sickness. Back again today, so trying to get back on the wagon for what seems like the hundreth time. The good news is I have been eating really healthily this week, and have not had ANY alcohol for 14 days. <br />

Yeap, next time i do drink I'll be hitting it like a train - I'll be a cheap date though.<br />
<br />
Really wish I could stop falling off the wagon, the progress RB, Bart, MVJ, etc are making is really impressive. -
Back in the saddle again today. Did the entire lower body and abs workout, including cardio. Muscles are sore from yesterday, so really pleased with that too.<br />
Last night I had pasta for dinner, so that probably wasn't good - but I'm sure there are worse things. Anyway, the jury still seems to be out on how bad carbs at night are. -
yeah, my jury out still. Although, I might try a no carbs at night jag for amonth or so, and see what happens. Have lost 1kg in the last month or so, which seems out of proportion to the training. althouhg, my clothes do keep getting bigger, so that is good!!

I suppose if you are just after weight loss it's best to cut it out. When I was really trying to lose weight I cut out carbs at night, and did cardio every morning before breakfast. Went really well.<br />
<br />
Back to the gym this morning and did bi's and back, and even cardio. Well set to have a day off in the weekend now. -
Well I certainly made the most of my day off by going completely overboard. Bit of an overkill on the KFC from Friday night through to early this morning. Anyway, was better behaved for the rest of the day.<br />
Went to the gym this afternoon and had a good workout. Wouldn't have made up for the day I had yesterday, but at least I've started the week as I want to carry on. -
I am on a three day programme, and yesterday I did Day 3. I like to have a day off in between, before starting Day One again. So this morning i just did half an hour of cardio. Pretty pleased with my efforts for the last week. Hopefully I can keep it up for another week. Will post a weigh in on Monday. Hopefully I'll be under 78 kgs.
-
Day one of my programme is always the hardest, and takes the longest. It involves incline bench press, bench press, reverse flys, shoulder press, french press, those arm pull down things, and abs. I did that this morning, and feel pretty good about it. No time for cardio this morning, but I never do with the Day One programme.
-
My weigh in this morning was 77.4kgs. I don't really think weight is a good indicator, as I'm more interested in cosmetic results. But at least it's a some sort of indicator of where I'm going. It's very hard to see any changes when you see yourself everyday.<br />
<br />
Did lower body weights today - no cardio. Christ it's cold. I can't even believe it. It's very hard to get out of bedl -
Cheers RB. I just need to get over that weekly weekend hurdle where I always run out of momentum.<br />
<br />
Back into it this morning - Bi's and Back, and some cardio as well.<br />
<br />
Looks like I might be doing the Half Marathon in Taupo in August. Anyone got any tips?
